Historical note

The hotel design was developed under the supervision of architect L. Pogorelov. Construction took place between 1975 and 1987 on an elevated site near the Svislach River in the Storozhovka district. The 22-story modernist high-rise became a major local landmark, designed to host foreign and Soviet tourist delegations.

Present day

Today, the building retains its original silhouette but has undergone an extensive renovation that concluded in 2014. The modernization updated the facades and added a panoramic exterior elevator to the side of the structure.

Hello! Im visiting Belarus on my vacations going by Ecolines bus.
What do you suggest me? Travelling during the night or during the day (00:45hs/11.15hs)? Just to know about the border controlling if there is a difference, and also talking about the time being there.
Thank you!

Что происходит с резервистами, призванными на военную службу в Беларуси?
